Mexico City, January 6, 2026 – The capital is abuzz with celebrations for Three Kings’ Day, featuring a variety of free activities and the highly anticipated mega Rosca de Reyes. The Ministry of Culture of Mexico City has once again organized the distribution of a colossal Rosca, measuring an impressive 250 meters in length and yielding 24,000 individual portions.
Mega Rosca de Reyes: A Sweet Tradition for Thousands
The centerpiece of the celebration is undoubtedly the enormous Rosca de Reyes, a traditional sweet bread enjoyed during the Epiphany. This year’s offering is designed to cater to a massive turnout, ensuring that thousands of Mexico City residents and visitors can partake in this cherished custom. The event underscores the city’s commitment to preserving cultural traditions and fostering community spirit.
Where to Find the Rosca and Other Festivities
While specific locations for all Rosca distributions across the city’s boroughs were a key point of interest, the primary focus remains on the central event. The Ministry of Culture has orchestrated a widespread effort to bring the joy of Three Kings’ Day to various parts of the city. Details regarding the exact times and locations for Rosca distribution and other free activities in each borough are being disseminated to ensure broad participation.
Transportation Adjustments for the Celebrations
To facilitate attendance at these festive events, the Ministry of Mobility of Mexico City has implemented modified public transport schedules for January 5th and 6th. The Metro, Metrobús, RTP, and Trolleybus services have adjusted their operating hours, making it easier for families to travel and for the Three Kings to deliver their gifts to children. This proactive measure aims to ensure smooth and accessible celebrations for everyone.
Economic Impact and Community Engagement
The Three Kings’ Day celebrations are not only culturally significant but also contribute to the local economy. The Mexico City Chamber of Commerce (Canaco CDMX) projects an economic spill of 4.145 billion pesos due to the holiday. It is estimated that Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltasar will spend an average of 2,508 pesos per child, highlighting the substantial commercial activity generated by this annual tradition. Beyond the economic figures, the events foster a strong sense of community, bringing people together to share in the festive spirit.
